Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for determining NH 3 and NOx slippage through a SCR is described. In one example, signals from NOx sensors positioned upstream and downstream of a SCR are processed and provide indication of NH 3 and NOx slippage. Engine emissions may be reduced with information provided via the NOx sensors, at least during some conditions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operating an engine actuator, comprising: providing an output of a first NOx sensor to a controller, the first NOx sensor operatively coupled to the controller; using the controller, providing a NH3 concentration of a gas from a convolution of only a decaying part of a transient NOx signal and the output of the first NOx sensor, the transient NOx signal representative of NOx in an exhaust passage located upstream of the first NOx sensor…
